HOW TO OFFER UP YOUR INTENTIONS AT A CATHOLIC HOLY EUCHARISTIC MASS



 To offer up your intentions at a Catholic Holy Eucharistic Mass, you can follow these steps:

  1. Prepare your intentions: Take some time before attending Mass to reflect on your intentions. These can include personal prayers, petitions for others, or any concerns you wish to bring before God.


  2. Attend Mass: Make sure you are present at a Catholic Holy Eucharistic Mass celebrated by a priest in a Catholic church or chapel.


  3. Participate in the liturgy: Engage fully in the Mass by following the order of the liturgy, including the prayers, responses, and hymns. Actively participate in the different parts of the Mass, such as the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.


  4. Offer personal prayers: Throughout the Mass, there will be moments of silence, such as after receiving Holy Communion or during the period of preparation for the Eucharistic Prayer. Use these moments to offer your personal prayers and intentions in your own words, speaking to God from your heart.


  5. Utilize the prayer of the faithful: The prayer of the faithful, also known as the general intercessions or universal prayer, is a part of the Mass where specific intentions are prayed for the needs of the Church and the world. Listen attentively and mentally join in these prayers, offering your own intentions along with those mentioned.


  6. Unite your intentions with the Eucharistic sacrifice: During the Offertory and the Eucharistic Prayer, you can mentally unite your intentions and sacrifices with the offering of the bread and wine, which becomes the Body and Blood of Christ. Offer your prayers, intentions, and desires to God, joining them with the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.


  7. Pray after Mass: After the Mass concludes, take a few moments to offer a prayer of thanksgiving to God for the opportunity to participate in the Holy Eucharist and to present your intentions. You can continue to pray for your intentions throughout the day or week, as well.

It's important to note that these steps are general guidelines and practices commonly observed in the Catholic Church. If you have any specific questions or seek further guidance, it's advisable to consult with your local parish priest or spiritual advisor.

The Holy Trinity

33 Best Holy Trinity Art images | Holy trinity, Trinity, Christian ...



What is the meaning of Holy Trinity?

Holy Trinity Invocation.
 Unto God Only be Honour and Glory. Bless the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit, let us praise Him, let us exalt him to the ages of ages.

Christians believe in one God and they believe that Jesus Christ was his son who died in order to bring humans salvation from sin. A key belief of all Christians is the belief in the Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who were all present at the Creation of the world and who all take on different roles.
The Christian doctrine of the Trinity (Latin: Trinitas, lit. 'triad', from Latin: trinus "threefold") holds that God is one God, but three coeternal consubstantial persons or hypostases—the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit—as "one God in three Divine person.
Reflection by early Christians on passages such as the Great Commission: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" and Paul the Apostle's blessing: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all", while at the same time the Jewish Shema Yisrael: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone" has led theologians across history in attempting to articulate the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Eventually, the diverse references to God, Jesus, and the Spirit found in the New Testament were brought together to form the doctrine of the Trinity—one God subsisting in three persons and one substance. The doctrine of the Trinity was used to oppose alternative views of how the three are related and to defend the church against charges of worshiping two or three gods.
in 1 John 5:7, is a disputed text which states: "There are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one."
For the majority of Christian denominations, the Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is the third person of the Trinity: the Triune God manifested as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; each entity itself being God.
In Christian Iconography, a dove also symbolizes the Holy Spirit, in reference to Matthew 3:16 and Luke 3:22 where the Holy Spirit is compared to a dove at the Baptism of Jesus.
The doctrine of the Trinity identifies Jesus as the incarnation of God, united in essence (consubstantial) but distinct in person with regard to God the Father and God the Holy Spirit (the first and third persons of the Trinity).
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended.
